Troznux Clans
A Star Nation of the Hyperion Federation consisting of one of the very few species capable of surviving in space. Their home is in the Arkan galaxy, which is full of bioships that feed off each other and form a food chain. There are no civilizations there, but some species evolved to fly on planets.
Some of the sentient species capable of reasoning formed the Troznux Clans and joined the HF because the Federation provides them with food and technology.
Obviously, the Federation has weaponised the Arkan ecosystem, cybernetically enhancing some of the species for their military.
The Cymaseus system is also found here. Home to the Dhim'or race. A race of sentient, symbiotic slug like creatures, inhabiting a section of the hosts brain. They optimize the hosts brain, making it perform a bit better. The brain slugs are partially hive minded with other Dhim'ors, retaining free will but having the ability to pass information easily. Although the signal becomes extremely weak and invisible at extreme distances. Another notable thing about them is the fact they can communicate to the host, and the host can communicate to them.
The Troznux Clans celebrates several holidays, such as integration day, where they recognize the things the HF did for them, such as provide them with technology and stopping them from eating each other constantly. They also have holidays set aside for exploring the planets and viewing them from orbit. The planets often look very pretty from orbit.
History
The Troznux species category was initially very far from unified. The Arkan galaxy at the time was essentially a single large biological ecosystem, and troznux often had to eat other subspecies of troznux to survive, sometimes even members of the same species. Upon their creation and expansion away form the Beta Targos System, they expanded through the galactic arm they were released in more quickly than others. This is because they were designed to survive in conditions where stellar density was higher, but there was an evolutionary drive to expand to other galactic arms so soon these other arms were also attacked. As this wave of organisms constantly attacked the civilzed factions in the galaxy, these other factions have quickly unified against this common threat. As such, minor factions did not fall very easily as they had support. Many troznux were killed in these battles and these other factions managed to delay their deaths but ultimately the troznux expanded into their land for resources anyway. The attacks were quite inconsistent, so some factions survived longer than others but it would have taken many thousands of years to completely capture Arkan. With the arrival of the HF, their ships were not immediately destroyed. In the Arkanian ecosystem, the information that these factions ever existed in the first place was eventually forgotten entirely and so they no longer understood the threat of a mechanical starship. This allowed the HF to study the troznux for a number of years before the troznux realized just how powerful these unkonwn objects were. Some became paranoid of these new mechanical ships and started destroying them, killing thousands of hyperionites. However, the HF wanted to form alliances and began to find out how to tame these newfound bioships, even if partially just to study them. They tried to appear less threatening by reducing their energy signatures and flying slower. This has worked to an extent and the HF found out that the troznux were sentient. Therefore, there would be more reliable ways to communicate to them, they just had to find out how. They would not hear sound due to the lack of sound in space, so this was presumably done through photons, or some other particle. The reality was that they can communicate through many different methods due to their extreme biodiversity. As long as they figured out how to communicate to one or more species, the troznux could relay these messages among themselves, in surprisingly many cases. At the time, the HF did not know this so efforts were established to communicate with almost all troznux subspecies. They would slowly become used to the increased traffic of HF starships in Arkan space, but the HF was careful as to not appear threatening. Communications were eventually established after much effort and many deaths, but for the next several years efforts would conitnue through all the subspecies - allowing the HF to communicate on its own using universal translators.
